2015

Welcome from the Chair, Ravi Jain - September 2019

Both functional and beautiful, a new microsite from the Canadian Bar Association is a resource for lawyers and others on Truth and Reconciliation, as well as a showcase for work by Indigenous artists.

The winner of the 2019 CBA Privacy and Access Law Section essay contest is Justin Roy, a third-year law student at the University of Ottawa.

The CBA is committed to answering the calls of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. A central premise of the CBA’s ongoing work is to provide a hub of resources and information to lawyers across Canada to understand the truth and engage in reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.

Law school graduates who are pursuing post-grad education in law could support their studies and join a distinguished list of recipients through the Viscount Bennett Fellowship, offered by the CBA.

he Canadian Bar Association’s Law for the Future Fund has announced grants totalling more than $190,000 this year going to a total of eight initiatives involving everything from legal literacy to an examination of who in Canada is stateless, and why.

The Parole Board of Canada has established a streamlined application process for individuals with criminal records for simple possession of cannabis with no application fees or wait times.
